but we have to finish this job
okay for the second part we're going to hop squawking because that is when I
stopped that day when the world was taken away on the 18th of August 2010
when I came here there were a lot of vehicles you have Baucus trucks and so
on from the rural areas when people got out with rocket containers and nice
north of the equipment to harvest from the whale and it was quite busy and you
could see that the way was was attracting a lot of people and I had to
park here because there was no other parking available it's a little bit of a
longer walk but at this only place I could get so we're going to revisit this
today and we've let's go through it
it's quite a distance to walk that day to the caucus from walking sparking in a
hops and it was a lot of people going in a direction and I was wondering how long
it will take before I see it but it didn't take that long I could see there
is in an ocean behind us the direction yet is directly behind us you see clock
by it's a swimming beach with love God so you have to go past there with thee
what I saw if the carcasses didn't look the same it was it was actually black on
the 14th when I saw it but today it was creamish the skin was gone and there
were people sitting on top of it all wasting it you'll see in the pictures
that I show you there was a lot of people some people were queuing up to
try to get on it and others were already on top of it with knives and all sorts
of tools and there was also a man in the tradition of Zulu trace similar to what
I'm wearing now this headband another clothes you look like it's on Goma he
was also one day so we assumed it for medicinal purposes I'm not sure of any
there was anything edible on that caucus so I was quite skeptical and obviously
process advantage of this composition it's a word yeah I think yeah
their children
yeah
while I was walking I saw a group of dolphins coming past close to the shore
some of them jumped up they were quite curious
let's do to see what was going on with the whale
dolphins are often associated with the wealth of heard of bird all personnel
will talk from behind shocknek to escape again they do all sorts of things up
taking a video myself that's on YouTube of a dolphins that came to look at the
newborn cop of the southern right there well so they're actually always very
curious in this assisting each other
it's a little stir
as you know with the difference between excavator and bulldozer
bulldozers are normally those machines of the scoops in the front that actually
digs so like this you know and then lift it up and then excavator is those things
that are long arms that this has this shape you know so when I when I when I
got to this point like a CD on a rock there were two bulldozers and one
excavator they just arrived they were getting into position because obviously
they were yet to for a removal and the water was lowered and you could see here
in the background they could go further because obviously they had to wait for
the low tide to do this operation
all along here on the promenade was a huge crowd of people when I got here
they were already in position they were standing all along the carcass was they
the excavators were they there were a lot of people on the beach there were
people harvesting the carcass but all along there were lot of spectators
designing the waiting for action to start remove you won't believe me here
that's right you know we're right across there it's quite amazing
and most of my photography today from this new cut point here positions a
tripod there and that's where I did it
okay so while I was waiting here for action to happen I started to take
pictures of the people behind us you know those people when I concentrating
on something they are they are very interesting they have interesting
expressions they are pointing and discussing and that makes for good photo
opportunities and I really enjoyed that and I'm going to include all of that
year and you you can you will see in between this there will be a lot of
photos of people there also traffic police here on the beach to control the
crowds to make sure that everything goes smoothly
well the excavator started to dig into the caucus at about 3 p.m. on the 18th
and it took huge chunks of that blubber and it loaded into the bulldozers the
Google this obviously we could receive that and the bulldozers within carrying
it away towards the water exit just here where is that this exit here there was a
huge bun on that side it also dropped off some of it on the beach for people
they so the people who actually interests an obvious thing the caucus
could get some of that blubber
where's my script oh you took it three how did you do it it's not out of your
bag just I could have lost it Thanks as I said the bulldozers dropped some of
the blubber right here behind me there were a lot of people here on the beach
with sharp knives and they were harvesting this blubber if I say sharp
knives they were battling to cut this it was really you will see on the pictures
they were sharpening their knives here on the rocks and it didn't really help
that much it so maybe I don't realize I've been nice with shop but the blubber
was really tough it's like rubber it's really difficult to cut it because there
well obviously has this around his body to pick hot rubbery fatty substance
obviously to protect the whale against the Colt in the polls we lay in the
polls and that was all here in the race obviously were taken out the container
thing in between I was taking more pictures of the people here which you
will see in between you know all the interaction the combination of that in
the back the rocks were exposed in a low tide and they were white and the beaches
right there the water had a bluish color from this
blood better obviously a lot of it dissolved in water and it got washed out
on the rocks so we saw that all the time and then here with all the excitement
there was a lonely little boy playing with a soccer ball on the beach while
experience is probably busy watching this you will see that the soccer balls
with work from the 2010 World Cup that was just a few months spot it happened
here in South Africa and obviously these balls were available everywhere and
that's what you see on this quick picture the seagulls also came to pick
up some pieces of blubber from the water and I took pictures of that made lovely
photo opportunities as well it's nice to see that
most of the removal was over by 4:00 p.m. but that's when I started to leave
and walk back and I suppose it was maybe took another up an hour to completely
take it away a lot of people also beginning to leave and it was getting
dusk it was a little bit cool that day
and it service this is a very historic event for this town you know it's always
interesting to have something like this and Wales do die from time to time you
get it every now and then on the coast and it obviously poses a huge operate
you know it's quite a challenge to actually get rid of this caucus in a
controlled way this was done quite well everything was put in containers and it
was just a second away to be dumped somewhere and it was clean and it was
over and the beaches thin again and the holiday goers could come here again
